This study investigates the diurnal pattern of transit ridership in the Metropolitan Seoul area. For the purpose, we use a weekday Smart Card passenger transaction data in 2005. Eleven passenger trip patterns are found from 2.74 million passengers moving on the Metropolitan Seoul Metro system. Among them, we analyze 2.4 million passengers blonging to five trip types having only one or two transaction record during a day. A total of 357 metro stations are classified to four types according to their diurnal pattern of passenger riderships. We analyze the relationships between passenger's trip chain patterns and subway station's diurnal transit ridership patterns. The result shows that the ratio of the number of passengers of particular time of the day is hierarchically related with trip chain patterns.

Freight travel pattern has been less studied comparing with the field of passenger travel. Nonetheless, the importance of the freight travel has been increasing in urban travel sector, and the research needs on the freight travel demand hence is increasing. The current paper aims to identify, by tons of freight trucks and cargos, the characteristics of mean travel pattern, efficiency or performance, and the characteristics of freight trip chain regarding destination location, destination type and freight type. The study analyzed the nation-wide data of freight travel behavior survey. This study intended to set the starting framework of decision-making principle in freight travel, which has already been popular in passenger travel study. Findings suggest that those characteristics are clearly distinguished among trucks and cargos of different sizes of tons. The results are expected to provide important insight to the development of relevant transportation policy measures.

This study providesd an empirical analysis of trip-chaining behavior and its application to transportation planning. In the empirical analysis, changes in trip-chaining patterns since 1970 have been examined and details of current trip-chaining behavior as they describe shopping trip-chaining behavior has changed. Individual trip-chaining has become longer and complex. It appears that the average number of trips per chains has substantially increased over the past 20 years. An increased number of trips in chains means fewer home-based trips. Changes in trip-chaining behavior have several consequences. Important consequences are for transportation and land-use planning. Up to now trips have been treated as if they are independent clusters of home-to-destination-to-home; this approach has not usually taken into account the trip-chaining behavior of individuals. this calls for a different approach to at least the trip generation and trip distribution part of transportation planning. In this study, application of trip-chaining behavior to trip distribution model formulation is proposed and its calibration results are presented.

Urban transport demand is derived from activity participation. A variety of individual daily activities based on the decisions on activity participation result in collective spatial behavior. The travel derived from the effort to overcome the spatially distributed locations of adjacent activities represents the detailed structural relationships among activities. An activity-based approach provides an important framework of analyzing contemporary urban daily life in the sense that it studies the interaction between individuals' daily decision making and social practice in time and space, on the one hand, and socio-spatial environment on the other. The current study identifies representative patterns of urban daily activity implementations and analyzes the correlation between representative patterns and individuals' characteristics and contextual characteristics. The study shows that urban daily activity patterns can be grouped in a limited number of representative patterns, which are systematically correlated with socio-spatial characteristics. The results provide related transportation policy implications.

While the competitiveness of small and medium sized cities has become important for balanced development at the national scale, they have experienced continuous decline in population and employment, particularly those in non-capital regions. In addition, some of small and medium sized cities have been classified into shrinking cities that have declined due to their long-term structural reasons. To address these issues, a regional approach, by which a hub city and its surrounding small and medium sized cities can collaborate has been suggested. Given this background, the purpose of this study is to identify and delineate hub cities and their impact areas by using travel data as a functional network index. This study uses a centrality index to identify the hub cities of small and medium sized cities and Markov-chain model and cluster analysis to delineate regional boundaries. The mean first passage time (MFPT) generated from the Markov-chain model can be interpreted as functional distance of each region. The study suggests a methodological approach delineating the boundaries of regions incorporating functional relationships of hub cities and their impact areas, and provides 59 hub cities and their impact areas. The results also provide policy implications for regional spatial planning that addresses appropriate planning boundaries of regions for enhancing the economic competitiveness of small and medium sized cities and ensuring services for shrinking cities.

해양에 있어서의 생물체의 에너지 순환, 즉 해양에 있어서의 생산체계에서 이중 먼저 기초생산체계만이라도 그 전상을 파악하자는 일은 먼 옛날부터 해양생물학자들의 진지하고도 끊임없는 추구대상이었다. 해양에는 막대한 양의 바닷물이 잠겨있고, 이곳에는 엄청난 양의 생명체가 함양되어 있으며, 이것들은 피포식자-포식자의 계열에서 어떠한 균형상태를 이루고 있는가하는 문제는 극히 흥미가 진진한 문제이다. 해양에 함양되는 무수한 생명체들은 간단없이 명멸, 소장만을 거듭하고 있다는 시적인 형용과 연상은 한층 더 구체화되어야 한다. 이러한 경향은 또한 근래의 세계인구의 격증에 대비하는 인간의 식량조달의 필요상, 해양이 지닌 잠재적인 식량생산의 여력을 재평가하자는 기운에서 한층 더 박차가 가해졌었다. 식량생산의 보고로서 해양에 주어진 책무는 크기만 하다. 해양에 잠겨있는 막대한 양의 바닷물은 긴 년월에 걸쳐 자연이 조제한 훌륭한 하나의 배양액이라고 불수 있고, 이것의 다각적인 이용개발은 지금부터 시작되었다고 해도 과언이 아니다. 근래에 이르러 각종기구 및 측기의 발달에 따라 해양의 물리, 화학 및 생물학적인 미세구조가 점차적으로 해명됨에 따라 해양학에 있어서의 고전적이고 전통적인 개념에 수정을 강요하는 사태가 적지않게 일어나고 있다. 해양의 기초생산체계에 대한 개념도 크게 비약하고 있으며, 해양에 있어서의 식물플랭크톤->동물플랭크톤->소형동물->어류를 연결하는 일방통행적인 식물연쇄개념을 크게 확대하고 비약시키지 아니하면 안될 여러 가지 사실이 들어나고 있다. 해양의 생물생산계의 기초적인 역할을 하는 것은 식물플랭크톤, 데트리타스 (detritus)등을 포함한 미소현탁물이라는 것은 틀림이 없으나, 이것들이 생명물질 기워니 아니드라도 물리현상으로 일어나는 기포를 매개로 하여 생성할수 있는 가능성이 제시되었다. 여기서는 이러한 해양의 미소현탁물에 관한 연구에 대해서 그 의의와 연구결과를 요약 소개하여 해양학도들의 참고로 한다. 이 종설을 꾸미는데 Jorgensen(1962), riley(1963), Parsons(1963), 서택(1966)등의 같은 토픽스에 관한 종설을 많이 참고로 한 것을 부기한다.
